Pl. discuss the contents of this blog with your friends and relatives. I am willing to correct myself , if you come up with logic, proof and reasoning. I have no special love or hate against any particular country or religion. My interests here are only facts and truth. I do not intend to color anything.

Two adjectives were used: 1. Maamsa soon`ita bhakshyaan`aam = those who feed on meat and blood. 2. Kaamaruupin`aam = those who can take any form at will.

INTERPRETATION, DEDUCTIONS1. Even in these days of population explosion, the population on the entire Earth is less than 7 billion. On Lanka alone, there can't be 100 billion!

2. Valmiki might have used numbers at his will and pleasure, so as to make the prowess of Rama as that of a great conquerer.

3. Even a conquerer like Alexander was said to have used a cavalry of 7,000 and infantry of 40,000 and defeated an Asia Minor of say 200 million population. How can Rama have an army of 100 billion and defeat a Nation of 100 billion?

Your interpretation of exaggerations and hyperboles is right.There is too much of poetic imagination in it. What do you feel about the planetary positions and constellations described at the time of Rama's birth in thee epic?Could it also be a figment of poetic imagination?
